After going to my first swing dancing ball this past weekend (I dressed 1920's in a beaded, flapper-style Alannah Hill dress) and impatiently awaiting the release of the Great Gatsby (finally seeing it this weekend!), I'm feeling inspired by all the decadent dresses, jewel-encrusted accessories and fur/feather jackets and shawls. While I was browsing on Miss Selfridge I noticed they had quite a few lovely 1920's inspired pieces, so I compiled a list of my favourites. Has anyone been to see the movie yet? How did you like it if so?

I like the flapper dress, that's a really nice edit. The clutch is cute too. You might like this post where I went behind the scenes looking at the laces from the dresses: http://www.carlytati.com/behind-the-scenes-the-great-gatsby-costume-design-catherine-martin/CheersCarly
